Chapter 3: Romance Turned Battle/Adventure Story?
"UAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!"
The Merovingian had gotten used to this sound. The sound of him driving … over anything in his way, over anyone in his way. The minute the Merovingian had gotten into his car was the minute that all his morals and kindness melted away all he could think of was getting that 'abomination' off of Persephone. Being so he took the most direct route towards the key maker, straight through a crowded shopping mall.
The Merovingian burst through a Blockbuster video, the last obstacle in his way before the freeway. Upon exiting he saw something stick to his windshield. With further inspection he deduced that it was a DVD copy of The Matrix: Revolutions.
"What is this garbage?"
The Merovingian turned on his windshield wipers and wiped off that DVD faster than an adolescent wipes a cum stain off his paints when his mom gets home from shopping early.
"Ah, the freeway, my ticket to the key maker!"
The Merovingian put pedal to the metal and hauled ass up the freeway until he saw an odd sight. Two men fighting on an 18 wheeler truck. He pulled up next to the truck and had one of the twins take over while he jumped up on to the roof of the car.
"Hmm...?"
"This was not foreseen..."
Morpheus and Agent Thompson interrupted their fight to exchange words of surprise.
"Well, about our exchange earlier, I'm going to need the key maker back."
"We-"
"Let me assure you Morpheus THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE!"
The Merovingian felt a hand placed on his shoulder. He remembered there being two people on the truck. He had forgot about Agent Thompson, well it's not like he is worthy of the Merovingian's attention at this moment anyway.
"The key maker is meant for deletion and nothing else."
While all this was going on you could hear the voices of the twins yammering away. It had become apparent to the trio on the truck that they had started doing commentary. The Merovingian had also heard something he had thought he would never hear. To further the value of the commentary the twins have given each other nicknames instead of referring to themselves as 'we'.
"Well it looks like a pretty heated verbal exchange is occurring!"
"Indeed it is X. S. Cash I think this might go somewhere physical!"
"Gotta agree FilthyRich1, and this is one fight I don't want to miss!"
With Agent Thompson's attention directed towards the twins, the Merovingian had ample time to get the first blow in.
"Oh and it looks big M got in the first punch!"
"And what a beautiful punch that was, right in the jaw!"
"I thought I heard something crack!"
"It seems that Morpheus is closing the space between big M and himself!"
"Looks like he wants in on this action, he better not let his guard down, I don't think Agent Thompson's getting up anytime soon!"
While Agent Thompson struggled to find his way back to his feet, the Merovingian and Morpheus were going at it with intense fury. Neither one showed any signs of backing down.
"I can't give the key maker up now, not after all the progress I made."
"You would waste your life on something so trivial?"
The Merovingian's retort made Morpheus double back. He had never thought it through before, but his life was good in the matrix. Why was he wasting his life for the sake of humanity, why not someone else?
"I think I see an opening!"
"And it looks like big M might take!"
The Merovingian threw his hand forward at amazing speed, and Morpheus flinched and fell back. However, contrary to what X. S. Cash commentated the Merovingian stayed his hand in front of Morpheus. He then promptly opened his palm.
"Come with me and we can get the real you back. Not this savior of humanity but Morpheus! The one who used to be a good dancer..."
Morpheus stared at the hand in front of him with disbelief. Someone had said that before, someone very close to him. Niobe.
"I remember you used to be a good dancer."
The memory was so clear in Morpheus' head.
Morpheus took the Merovingian's hand and together they got Morpheus back onto his feet. For one of the first times in his life Morpheus looked truly happy, the only other memory he had like this was the time he spent with Niobe.
"It looks like big M and Morpheus have come to an agreement!"
"We gotta go to the black three stars and have a good drink to celebrate!"
"Looks like that will have to wait FilthyRich1, it seems that Agent Thompson has found his way back to his feet."
Hearing the commentary both Morpheus and the Merovingian turned around simultaneously and rocketed toward the finally recuperated Agent. Morpheus came in first and kicked Thompson's chin, so he went flying in to the air.
"What a cracker!"
"Now that is going to hurt in the morning!"
"WAIT, WAIT, THEY'RE NOT DONE YET!"
The Merovingian propelled himself into the air by jumping off of his new partners back. Agent Thompson started his decent back down, plummeting head first. The Merovingian took advantage of this and grabbed onto Thompson's ribs. He started directing the Agent straight towards the ground.
"FilthyRich1 is this...!"
"YES, PILE-DRIVER, PILE-DRIVER!"
The Merovingian shot Agent Thompson straight into the asphalt road of the freeway. Agent Thompson's head went through the road like tissue paper, the rest of his body was still sticking up at a 90 degree angle.
"If that didn't finish him off then this will!"
A speeding car flew right into Agent Thompson's body and knocked the body clear of the road and his head. Conveniently for the rest of the motorists the Agent's head filled the hole left by the impact perfectly.
"What a great end to a great fight!"
"You're telling me X.S. Cash! I hope we can see more of this duo in the future!"
The Merovingian and Morpheus hopped back into the car, they took the back seats as the Merovingian let 'X. S. Cash' keep the wheel.
"Where to now?"
"Well mon ami you are the only one out of us who knows where the key maker is."
Morpheus pointed to a motorcycle speeding up ahead.
"He's on that. Follow the motorcycle with the butch on it."
"Well you heard him 'X. S. Cash' and 'FilthyRich1', follow that butch.
Trinity couldn't shake the feeling that someone was talking about her. She ignored and kept speeding along.
